Written by Stephen Foster and first published in 1854, this parlour song was very popular in it's day, and has been covered many times since.... this cover I like.
Released seven years before the American Civil War, it gained great popularity during that conflict as an expression of suffering and hardship, to the point that a satirical version about soldiers' food became widely circulated as well, "Hard Tack Come Again No More"
